Mountain Valley Hospice & Palliative Care provides compassionate end-of-life care for terminally ill patients, and that care is delivered by a team of professional staff, nurses, and physicians. But Mountain Valley Hospice also depends upon volunteers to augment that care, and today, the need for volunteers is greater than ever, especially in Surry, Yadkin, and Wilkes counties, as well as in Southwest Virginia.

“We are serving an increasing number of patients and their families, and that’s why we are actively recruiting volunteers”, said Sheila Jones, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Mountain Valley Hospice & Palliative Care. “That’s why we hope folks in this area will make volunteering part of their New Year’s resolution, by becoming a patients Miracle.  Many patients and patient families need an extra pair of hands.

Hospice volunteers can select from the following duties:

  • Read or sing to patients
  • Provide a brief respite for a weary caregiver
  • Provide emotional support for the patient and family
  • Run errands
  • Offer a smile and a kind word
  • Bring in a newspaper or talk about current events
  • Work on a scrapbook with the patient
  • Rub lotion on the patient’s hands
  • Provide special emotional support for patients who are veterans
  • Help the family understand what is happening
  • Be a good listener
  • Prepare a meal for patients who receive hospice care at home
  • Perform light household chores, such as folding laundry
  • Assist with family’s in bereavement

For more information about volunteering please call Tammy Simmons at 1-888-789-2922
